The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 906

Hearing (2)

“half.”

A dark bar with dim lighting.

Jenny, who was leaning against the bar counter, called out to Lennok with a serious expression.

“Now I have no idea what you’re really thinking.”

“… … .”

“Before this is over. “Didn’t we still do something called communion?”

“jenny.”

Lennok, who had just arrived at the bar, pulled up a chair and sat down as he answered.

“Do not doubt.”

“… … .”

“Believe in yourself. “Your memory is correct.”

“Do you think that if I just throw in some seemingly sensible words, they will understand and move on?”

[Hehehe.]

At that moment, an alluring laughter was heard next to Jenny.

A black veil covering the face and a pitch black trench coat. Even the small parasol handle that hangs on the wrist.

A woman who looked drowsy, leaning on a seat near the counter, spoke in a strange voice.

[These are conversations that make even me happy while listening to them. So cute.]

“… … “Madam.”

The city’s oldest broker and a vampire who has lived for a long time.

Madame sat with her chin resting on the bar counter, staring intently at Lennok.

[fastness. You seem to have a very good relationship with the broker in charge.]

“… … .”

Even though there was no particular answer, Madame’s gaze was glued to Lennok’s face, and she had no idea that it would fall.

Only the direction of the gaze could be glimpsed through the veil, but it was even more difficult not to notice the blatant appearance.

Madame muttered while twirling the glass she was holding, looking lost in memories.

[Envy me. There was a time in the past when I made a living by working together with my friends… … .]

“If this looks like a match, you should have gone to the eye doctor first, not the bar.”

“Why are you here?”

Lennok immediately asked Jenny, who was grumbling.

Madame is one of the most influential brokers in the city, but she rarely steps forward in person.

He spends most of his time at his mansion and just focuses on his pastimes.

Who would have thought that she, who is only interested in managing talented freelancers and collecting the blood of powerful superhumans, would be at the bar before Lennok.

[Well, Jenny called me.]

In response to Lennok’s question, Madame waved her hands in a drowsy manner.

[A cute junior is asking for help, and I don’t think it would be honorable to refuse.]

“help?”

“I heard you were going to appear at the hearing.”

Jenny responded with her arms crossed, looking reluctant.

“To be honest, I’m still against it. “This type of hearing is an annual event that only requires attendance as a formality, and non-attendance is standard.”

“… … .”

“We are preparing to force our faces into a party that no one wants to see. So to speak, I am an uninvited guest who received an invitation.”

“Not bad.”

Lennok laughed.

“It’s something I’ve done often.”

“… … okay.”

Jenny sighed, looking like she had given up on everything.

There’s no way Lennok didn’t know that a hearing like this was an event that only seemed plausible on the surface.

Jenny also had an idea as to why Lennok suddenly wanted to attend the hearing in the first place.

“That’s why I called an expert. Madame is a person who knows a lot about old etiquette and rituals.”

“It’s a ritual… … .”

[It is not uncommon for a hearing to be held for a level 8 archmage or for one to attend the hearing.]

Madame smiled softly.

[Hearings for superhumans of this level do not follow worldly laws. A being that transcends hierarchy needs rules and treatment equivalent to that.]

“Is this to prevent killing all the attendees at the hearing if the suit is wrong?”

[Oh my, were you planning such a terrible tragedy?]

“… … .”

When Lennok ignored Madame’s fuss, Madame finally smiled and explained.

[Of course, there are such things, but it is because there are regulations established a long time ago for such cases.]

“It’s a rule.”

[Judgment regulations created in the central city of Arsnova to manage high-ranking magic users.]

Madam said.

[It is a well-known bondage that is uniquely sophisticated and powerful among ancient oaths.]

“… … .”

A rule created in the central city of Arsnova to manage high-ranking superhumans.

Is this Geass, which processes procedures and regulations that exist in literature into a form of restraint and forces people to follow the rules?

[At the point when attendance at the hearing is decided, there is a high probability that the person will be asked to promise to abide by the trial regulations.]

As Madame said this, she ran her finger over the half-left rim of the glass.

[There are three rules to remember. Answer the questions sincerely. Don’t shirk responsibility. The use of images is prohibited until the hearing is over.]

“The definition of the rule is ambiguous. “Did you intentionally leave room for interpretation?”

Lennok muttered with a frown on his face.

“For a powerful Geass that binds, the content is extremely vague. Above all, the third rule is… … .”

The fact that they leave a written rule for only superhumans of saint rank or higher who can use imagery is enough to give you a sense of just how powerful Arsnova’s civilization was.

Does this mean that restricting and restraining the power of high-ranking superhumans in the central city was common enough to be enshrined in law?

While Lennok smiled bitterly at that fact, Madame spoke.

[What I can help you with is choosing one of the three rules of the hearing and loosening the bonds of Geass.]

“… … .”

[So you can choose which restraints to loosen.]

“You said you were waiting for my decision.”

Lennok tilted his head.

“It won’t be an easy task to loosen the shackles of Geass. “Why are you helping me?”

According to Madame’s explanation, Arsnova’s Judgment Code is a bondage created for high-ranking superhumans.

Loosening the rules will never be easy, so why do you want to help Lennok?

It is difficult to understand Jenny’s motive simply by asking her to do so.

Madame grinned.

[To be honest, I think you made a very wise decision to attend the hearing.]

“… … .”

[Whether positive or negative, there is great consistency in your behavior in that it moves in unexpected ways. And surprisingly, people… … .]

Madame, who paused slightly, quenched her thirst with a glass of wine and spoke.

[It is no longer possible to hate or dislike such a person.]

“… … .”

[It may not have been a calculated decision. Rather, it is better if it is a spontaneous decision. Either way, I want to see an unrivaled status being created in this city.]

Madame whispered in a happy tone.

[Especially because I already tried it once and failed.]

“That’s an interesting answer. Was Kingmaker your dream?”

Lennok laughed.

“But I’m not interested in becoming king of the city. “If you’re looking for chess pieces to play with, you’d better look for someone else.”

[This is a fact I have come to know after living for a long time.]

Madame smiled gracefully.

[Janggi, which followed my will and advice, ultimately could not escape the limits I had set.]

“… … .”

[That’s all.]

With those words, Madame summarized the reason for her cooperation with Lennok and nodded gracefully.

[So, what rules are you planning to adjust in advance?]

“Rule three.”

Lennok said.

“It may not be meaningful, but let’s be clear about that.”

[great.]

Madame said that and stood up.

[It takes some time to adjust the refereeing regulations. It won’t take long, so please wait here.]

With those words, Madame walked to the company building behind the bar, guided by Jordan.

Jenny, who had been listening to the conversation between the two with a bewildered expression, finally glanced back at Lennok.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“I cannot sympathize with Madame’s tastes or motives, but there is one thing I agree with.”

Lennok said and raised his glass.

A brown, transparent liquid flowed past Lennok’s eyes.

“It means that there was a need for something like this to happen to Balkan city governments at least once.”

“… … .”

“If it has a cause or benefit, that’s fine. “I’ll take care of the rest.”

Just because Lennox showed his intention to attend the hearing, redevelopment of the outlying area has already begun to progress.

This is because those in favor were pushing ahead with the plan at a time when the arguments of the opponents temporarily lost their power.

This may be because they do not want to miss the opportunity of the wizards of the Magic Tower visiting Balkan one after another.

Regardless of the outcome of the hearing, the construction of infrastructure in the outlying area near Map Tower is a definite task.

It is enough to briefly stand on the stage set up by the Central Council to expand the Tower’s influence in this city and take advantage of it.

“It’s a hassle, but it’s a position to be in front of the media.”

Lennok laughed.

“At this point, I think I should cut out any unnecessary rumors about me.”

“No matter how you look at it, I don’t think that will happen… … .”

Jenny asked with a nervous expression.

“The contents of the hearing may be broadcast throughout the Balkans. Do you want to at least rehearse in advance?”

“When I have time. “But there is something to do first.”

As Lennok said this, he glanced at the time.

Madame said she needed some time, so in the meantime, Lennok also had something to take care of.

Due to the recent battle that took place at the Magic Tower, all of the tower officials have been away for the first time in a long time.

“I plan to fix the damaged tower’s security system and movement techniques, and remodel the tower’s functions. “Can you follow me for a moment?”

* * *

Area 49, upper level of the Magic Tower of Lightning.

It has been a few days since the partner companies temporarily moved out following the uproar caused by Evan Martinez’s attack.

It has been quite a while since the always-busy Magic Tower has been this quiet since the start of the i-Tep business.

There is only silence flowing between the spiral-shaped hallway and the stairs.

“That’s right, Ban. “Stop removing the stairs.”

Jenny, who was walking behind Lennok, opened her mouth as if she had just remembered something.

“Do you know how difficult it is to move up the stairs because everyone is pushed away without saying a word?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“If you play it off like that, will the facts disappear?”

Jenny grumbled.

“I agree that ramps are necessary for smooth movement of goods, but there are times when stairs are more convenient to walk. “How many times do I have to tell you-”

“I’m sorry, but that’s not something I can control on my own.”

“… … what?”

“I have no control over the physical staircase structure that exists in the tower’s domain.”

Lennok explained as he walked down the ramp.

“I’m just reducing the structure of the tower to the ideal form that exists in my subconscious.”

“I still don’t really understand what you’re talking about.”

Jenny said, pressing her temples with her index fingers.

It looks as if they are trying to force down the blood that is about to rise at any moment.

“So, you’re saying that your subconscious aversion to stairs is naturally reflected in the tower?”

“That’s a great summary.”

“Do not lie!”

Jenny shouted and pointed to the other side of the ramp.

“That emergency staircase. “It’s been sitting there for over two weeks since I installed it separately?”

“… … .”

“They just push you away every time they see you, and then they make up ridiculous excuses- Ugh!?!”

Damn it!!

The moment Lennok glanced toward the emergency stairs, the stairs tilted diagonally and instantly turned into a gentle slope.

Leaving behind Jenny, who was at a loss for words, Lennok muttered without blinking.

“Oh no, stop unconsciously.”

“… … .”

“If you are quick-witted, you will catch a glimpse of too much truth.”

“… … Yes, you won.”

Jenny sighed, looking like she had given up on everything.

“Now that I think about it, there’s no way an archmage can’t control even his subconscious. “I should have noticed from the beginning.”

“That’s not necessarily true… … .”

Most people with extreme abilities in the 8th rank have mental problems, so it is rare for them to completely control their consciousness.

However, there was no need to deny the fact that Jenny’s misunderstanding pointed out a grain of truth.

Jenny shouted, shaking her hair in frustration.

“Oh, I don’t know. I will continue to install stairs and place them between the towers, so feel free to destroy them or not!! “I will do whatever I want!”

“It will be a good match.”

“… … .”

Shake!!

The top floor of the Magic Tower, where construction equipment and materials are placed, as if it was still under construction for a while.

It’s not that it hasn’t been completed, but expansion work to increase the stairs is in full swing.

“Ugh, it’s a bit cold… … .”

A cold wind seeped through the sparsely spaced walls, and Jenny flinched.

Lennok, blocking the incoming wind with a single wave of his hand, leaned in the hallway and looked down.

Hwioooo!!!

The center of the tower is open like a huge circular cavity, overlooking the first floor lobby.

Jenny, who was standing next to Lennok, glanced at the ground and asked.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“It’s an extension of what we did last time.”

When Lennok raised his hand, the huge magic tower began to shake violently according to his will.

Coo coo coo coo!!!!

The stairs and the entire exterior wall vibrate violently, and the floor trembles, as if it will collapse at any moment.

The moment Jenny grabbed Lennok’s coat as if she was scared.

Paaaa!!

A huge, burning red sphere appeared and rose from the ground in the first floor lobby.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

The intense heat source that broke the lobby floor and rose quickly reached the top floor of the tower where Lennok was standing.

Grrrrrrrrr!!

Lennok said, looking at the fireball that was like a blazing sun.

“The Phoenix Hall, which was a relic of the Blaver Magic Tower. “The tower is giving new properties and adding functions to the heat source powered by the engine.”

“Is this the lightning rod story you mentioned last time?”

“It would be difficult to try unless there is no one in the tower like now.”

The output and heat output of the Phoenix Battle, which runs on the magic tower’s engine, is not like that of an ordinary magic core or energy source.

A semi-permanent power engine that burns with will, taking as its origin the relics of the Seven Great Magic Tower Lords of Blaver.

For magicians who use flame-type magic, it is truly an item like a supreme treasure.

‘If Evan had used the Phoenix Battle as the seventh magic core, the fight could have unfolded in a different way… … .’

Perhaps Tatiana also knew this and desperately tried to prevent Evan from entering the magic tower.

However, from the beginning, Lennok had no intention of making the Phoenix Battle into Evan’s magic core.

Its output is too strong to be used as the seventh reactor core, and there is a high possibility that all will be lost when the Magic Tower’s engine is extracted.

Lennok thought so, pulling out a metal stick bent in a strange direction from inside his coat.

Slam!!

Insert the prepared lightning rods one by one along the areas where the light from the Phoenix Hall rotating in the air on the top floor of the Magic Tower becomes particularly strong.

About a dozen lightning rods were inserted into the hallway wall, and the attraction points were connected using magic to create a huge legal formation.

The moment when a huge polygon with the point where the lightning rod is inserted as its vertex is precisely connected to the circular magic circle.

Tsuzzzzzzzzzz… … !!!

The lightning rod, which absorbed the heat emanating from the Phoenix Hall, suddenly changed its nature to lightning and began to absorb it into the Beopjin.

A dazzling wave of electric current flashed from all directions in the hallway on the top floor of the Magic Tower.

Jenny was startled by the sudden ripples of lightning.

“Ban, this… … .”

“By forcibly amplifying the bias of magical power, a change in nature is forced.”

Lennok explained.

“The magic power of the Phoenix Hall is converted into magic power with lightning-type properties only for this floor.”

“… … .”

“The substitution of horsepower and power in Evan Bylan’s first paper. “You can think of it as reversing the order.”

I’m going to fall in love!!!

The blue brilliance of the lightning bouncing under their feet was enough to brighten Jenny and Lennok’s faces.

Lennok took the first step, leaving Jenny to hesitate.

“I received these artifacts in advance in exchange for notifying Gisu Shrine of the hearing’s events. “There were many useful parts of their technique of forcibly manipulating the magnetic bias of metal.”

Lennok, who took out a few more bent metal sticks from his pocket and inserted them into the box to replenish them, finally raised his gaze.

“The power to enforce bias is easy to apply. If adjusted appropriately, there is room for use not only in reality but also in global brain spaces such as the deep web. “This is why we must be wary of Gisu Shrine.”

Pot!!

“So, if you overload the electric magic power and control the direction of your thoughts-”

“Oh right. The deep web made me think of it… … “Aaaah!!”

At that moment, Jenny’s new form disappeared and appeared on the opposite staircase.

The sight of Jenny slumped in her seat, unable to maintain her balance due to the sudden change in her vision.

With Jenny looking at him with a surprised expression, Lennok snapped his fingers once more.

Pot!

This time Lennok appeared next to Jenny.

Lennok laughed as he casually grabbed Jenny’s hand and lifted her up.

“In this way, free coordinate movement around the magic tower becomes possible. So what do you want to say?”

“… … “It’s about the deep web.”

Jenny said, sighing and standing up.

“Deep Web administrators have contacted me saying they would like to meet in person about the gamble on this fight.”
